In
addition to our extensive range of traditional
Memorial Plaques and Headstones,
Virgo Funerals can also supply laser-etched granite memorial plaques
- the very latest in memorial plaque technology.

Laser-etched plaques are created individually using computer-driven
lasers which carve a high-resolution dot pattern from a prepared image
into solid granite.

The result is a permanently etched image that lasts virtually forever.

The big advantages of laser-etched plaques include the following:

No use of paint. This makes the plaques ideal for outdoor use because the
image never fades.

Images are etched into the surface of the granite so they're incredibly
hard-wearing

No maintenance of the memorial is required

These memorials last forever so that loved ones can be remembered
by future generations

Personalised images truly reflect the life of a loved one

It's the only way to produce a truly lasting memory - nothing else
will last as long

The possibilities for plaques are endless and images can be acquired
from print photography, digital photographs, pictures or videos. Line art
and text are then added to complete the final design

We're committed to creating unique and individual alternatives for remembering
your loved ones - if you can picture it, then we can create it for you.

Laser-etched plaques are created by using photos or images of your loved
one. They can be digital photos, black and white or colour print photos,
traditionally painted pictures (which have been photographed) or even images
extracted from videos.

Points to remember:

The better the quality and resolution of the photograph or images
supplied, the better the finished product will be

The laser etching machine can handle pieces of granite up to 1.2m x 2.4m
x 0.6m, but plaques can be made to any size below this maximum

Super black granite is the ideal substrate for laser-etched plaques.
Other types of granite may not give as brilliant an end result.

However, other materials that can also be etched include marble, glass, mirrors,
timber and acrylics

Because laser-etched memorial plaques are unique, prices vary depending
on the size and complexity of the desired finished product. Virgo Funerals
will work with you and your budget to achieve the best possible outcome.
